THE UNION BRIDGE.
Favorable Progress stu Being Made by

Favorable Progress Still Being Made by
Those at the Helm.
The Union bridge project is still getting
along all right, a thing for which all Of us
shall be truly thankful And the pros
poets for the future are as bright as they
well could be, at this particular stage OF
the proceedings. Two meetings were held
yesterday by the members of the sub com
mittee representing Council, the Board Of
Commissioners and the Chamber of Com.
merce, and Messrs Cochran and Lynch.
The first OF these was an informal confer
ence at the Mcclure House, at which maps
and plans were again gone over, details
talked Of, aud q number of little points,
rather unexpected in their nature, but
each small in itself, met and successfully
overcome or cast aside.
Last evening another aud more formal
conference was had between the parties.
This meeting took place in the committee
room of the Board OF Commissioners, az the
public building, aud convened about :
O'Clock. The work Of the morning was
supplemented by good deal that was i'm.
portant, and the gentlemen went TO their
beds at rather late hour in the firm
belief that they had done good day S
work.
This evening there will be a meeting OF
the full joint committee, at the Chamber
of Commerce, when it is expected another
and more important stage OF the nesotia-
tiors will be reached.

Blade says Of the piece:
This is the title Of new play which
was given Tor the frat time in this city at
the Wheeler last evening. 1t was written
by Philadelphia journalist, Mr.. Wallace
Walters, who has furnished comedian Gus
Williams with an excellent vehicle for the
display of his peculiar talents. The hero

Death OF Former Wheeling Sport.

The Pittsburg Dispatch contains the fol-
lowing item: The news OF the death in
London OF George Nj. Graham, which &C.
CURED Sunday, November p. from the eff
fects of a shot, was received with most sin
cere expressions of sorrow by the better
class of spcrtsmen of this city. Graham
was well and fsvorably known all over
this county and was one Of the best
hearted, withal the squarest man among
the sportsmcn. He was a prince OF good
fellows and his friends we're numbered by
hundreds, who regret his untimely death
and earnestly sympathize with his wife in
her bereavment Graham was in Pitts
burg during the time Kilrain and Mitchell
were here, and left this country with them
for Eogland for the purpose of witnessing
the Kilrain-Smith fight" Graham will
be well remembered here, he having been
proprietor of fare bank in this city at one
time. He left suddenly one day and never
returned and the cause of his departure
never became generally known, but was
said to he on account Of trouble made by a
player who lost large sum of money in
his house The cause of his death was a
bullet wound inflicted by Dan Doherty, of
New York, after quarrel over a gambling
debt

ZANESVILLE'S SQUEAL
A HOWL PROM THE BANKS OF THE Nus
EISGUN WHICH CALLS FOR REMARK.
A Little Bit Of Correspondence to 'SpOrdns Life
Which IS Very thoroughly Vsnhlaisd-An In
tsrvisw With Secretary English.

Some comment has been made 10 base
ball circles over the publication in the In
telieeneer of an article clipped from the
Sporting Life, which reflects on Wheeling
as we'll as Columbus The correspondence
referred to came from Evansville, and it is
not hard to guess that the author was the
former secretary of that club and whose
penchant for writing is 50 well known that
it would be a matter Of supererogation to
name him. Evansville is not base ball
town and the sooner the League finds it out
the better. They had fair club there last
season, but all the money they made was
away from home 1t is to be regretted
that this is 50, but such Is
the case. When GAINESVILLE came
to Wheeling on the Fourth Of July, the
club was virtually busted. In the morn
ing and afternoon games they played here
on that day, they reaped q rich harvest,
taking in over 500, which, the reporter Is
informed, put them, at that time, just
eight dollars ahead on the season. Now,
CluU, siSpAcoSae0s'Sp SSS&>S
out and declaims against their savior OF
last season. Why? Simply because they
are disgruntled in not getting the pennant,
and because Wheeling enterprise got abe I'D
of their cupidity this year. 1t is purely
and simply q case of sour grapes
In the middle of last season it was seen
that Wheeling always turned ont large
crowds, and q scheme WAS concocted to
rob her, which e, entuated in the passage
of the percentage rule. Now, let US see
how this worked. Every club in the
League that visited this city with the eI-
ception Of one or two, received money over
the guarantee How was it with Wheel
ing? 1t was only on one occasion that the
home club got over the guarantee, and that
was at Akron, when $ll.10 was collected.
At another time it did not count,
which was at Columbus, as the
game was played on Sunday,
which was virtually considered holiday.
1t was owing to these facts that Wheel
ing made determined effort at the Ksla'
mazoo meeting not TO be robbed during
the coming season, and it might jus. as
well be understood at the outset that she
intends to hold up her end TO that effect.
The reporter asked Secretary English, Of
the Wheeling club, what he thought about
the proposed return 10 the percentage sys-
TEN, and he replied that Wheeling would
never suffer 1t.
